All in the details





The first image I suppose is one that greatly appeals to me, beautiful and full of excess. A silk dress with a leather coat by Christian Lacroix, Well documented by photographer Alix Malka. My idea for a collection would be of striking glamour.
(Agnelli,D. 15.11.08 p1. Once upon a time. Telegraph luxury.)

The second dress by John Galliano at Dior shows gown looking semi constructed, almost thrown together. In true Dior style constructed with inbuilt corset but revealed. I really do like this deconstructed look, revealing almost how it is made.
(p326 Dior)

The last image shows a Dior dress from 1957, it's fascinating to see the inside finish of the gown's bodice, alot of hand sewn work with self fabric bra cups for shape.(p113 Dior)
